Ted Cruz Pledges Support For Constitutional Amendment Banning Birth Control

[defcon4]

Nothing about birth control.


"Senator Cruz received the endorsement after reviewing his activities supporting personhood and receiving his signed GRTL PAC Personhood Affirmation, which asks that candidates support a personhood amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Such an amendment would guarantee a constitutional right to life for every innocent human being, from earliest biological beginning until natural death.

The announcement was made today at the Cruz Bus Tour stop in Newnan, GA. #CruzCountry

Senator Cruz's pro-life record includes the following:

• Leading the charge on behalf of 13 states in successfully defending the federal Partial Birth Abortion Act before the U.S. Supreme Court.
• Joining 18 states in successfully defending New Hampshire's Parental Notification Act before the U.S. Supreme Court.
• Successfully defending a Texas law that prevents state funds from being sent to organizations that perform abortions.
• Calling for the defunding of Planned Parenthood amid charges that the abortion giant sells aborted body parts.

GRTL PAC only endorses candidates who fully support its principles and positions on pro-life issues.

"With so many candidates running for President, we hope others will follow Senator Cruz's lead, stand with us and seek our endorsement," Davis said.

Georgia Right to Life promotes respect and effective legal protection for all innocent human life from earliest biological beginning through natural death. GRTL is one of a number of organizations that has adopted Personhood as the most effective pro-life strategy for the 21st century."

More assumptions for a leftwing hate site, seems the author is putting out a lot of unsupported BS. But hey, that never bothers a lefty putting out propaganda, right? Supporting personhood for the unborn is a long shot from a Constitutional Amendment Banning Birth Control.

Keep hiding from facts.
Ted Cruz Ignites 2016 Race to the Bottom on Abortion and Women s Health - US News
"GRTL’s pledge, which the group says Cruz signed, asks candidates to affirm that “a continuum of human life and personhood begins at the moment of fertilization” and promise to protect “the civil rights of the pre-born at an embryonic or fetal level.” In practice, personhood would not only criminalize all abortions, it could also endanger some common forms of birth control and put women who have suffered miscarriages at risk of prosecution.

And you keep posting bullshit from leftwing hacks like this.

Bill Ritter and before escaping to God's Country, she spent 15 years (and way too many late nights watching the floor) in Washington, D.C.

Could, should or might don't constitute facts.

Please get out of your bubble and stop personally attacking authors, follow what your own fucking candidate is saying and supporting.

You're going to have problems on here LOL

Not my fault people want to live in a bubble and ignore what their own fucking candidates are supporting.
Fetal personhood from conception?
Calling birth control abortion supplements?
Not supporting abortion in cases of rape/incest?
All said by cruz, unless a great conspiracy is happening.

You want so much for us to believe that tripe...like you do. We're smarter than that

 

[Stephanie]

What a fucking idiot.

While everyone is still transfixed by the outrage reality show that is the Trump campaign, other candidates like Ted Cruz have been scrambling behind the scenes trying to gather support wherever they can. When the Trump bubble finally pops and the whole thing goes down in flames, the most likely people to court his current supporters are Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz. (Bobby Jindal may even be further right than those two, but despite all of his desperate attempts to outdo Donald Trump and get attention, he is less popular than Hillary Clinton, in his own state of Louisiana.) The biggest prize for 2016 GOP presidential candidates is the evangelical conservatives who are adamantly against abortion for any reason, as well as some popular forms of birth control like the IUD which they also consider to be abortion. They believe that once a sperm fertilizes an egg, anything that prevents that egg from turning into a fetus, is the same thing as abortion. I know this sounds strange to some of us, but this is actually what they think, and I can confirm that the anti-choice activists in my family subscribe to this mindset. So that’s where Ted Cruz comes in. Cruz pledged last week to the extreme anti-choice Georgia Right to Life group that he would support a personhood amendment that would declare fertilized eggs to be human beings. Georgia Right to Life, one of the most outspoken proponents of the movement to grant legal “personhood” to fertilized eggs and fetuses, has endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz for president after he signed their candidate pledge promising to “support a personhood amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” GRTL’s pledge, which the group says Cruz signed, asks candidates to affirm that “a continuum of human life and personhood begins at the moment of fertilization” and promise to protect “the civil rights of the pre-born at an embryonic or fetal level.” In practice, personhood would not only criminalize all abortions, it could also endanger some common forms of birth control and put women who have suffered miscarriages at risk of prosecution. The Georgia group’s advocacy of sweeping personhood measures to ban abortion is so radical that it caused it to split from the National Right to Life Committee. (Source) Yes, these people were too radical for the already extreme National Right to Life Committee, and that was just fine with Ted Cruz. Not content just to defund Planned Parenthood or place serious restrictions on a woman’s right to choose, they also want to ban certain types of birth control which would prevent the need for an abortion in the first place.

Ted Cruz Pledges Support For Constitutional Amendment Banning Birth Control

A. Your source is a progressive blog and nothing more than someone's opinion.

B. Nowhere in there did it say he was pushing for a Constitutional amendment to ban birth control. What it said was:

In practice, personhood would not only criminalize all abortions, it could also endanger some common forms of birth control and put women who have suffered miscarriages at risk of prosecution.

It "could" endanger some common forms, so common, that the author couldn't even bother to list them evidently because he likely has no clue.

C. The author threw away any credibility he had once he claimed they would lock up women who had a miscarriage. Only a batshit crazy tard would believe such a thing. Not even Ted Cruz is this radical.

In other words, this is all bullshit.

Sad.
The PAC cited made him sign a pledge that would entitle "fetal personhood" support from day one, the moment of conception. Think of morning after pills, consistent birth control taken by women, that would all be labeled as "murder." Cruz labels birth control "abortificades" or some shit, his record on birth control is delusional and it's idiocy to defend him, but I expect nothing less. Seriously? Fetal personhood would call for investigations into every miscarriage, since the fetus is a person. Of course, since nothing is perfect, the author of the article is spot on with this evaluation. Cruz doesn't believe in abortion when it comes to incest/rape either, another delusional quack. The blog is cited, want to read the damn pledge yourself?
"In practice, personhood would not only criminalize all abortions" - Morning after pills aren't abortion? Routine birth control isn't? It's why cruz labels them as abortion supplements. Sad.

what more sad is people like you care more about a woman aborting their babies and not the LIFE OF EITHER the woman or the child she is aborting. it you and the author of that hit piece who are fxxked up and sick and twisted human beings

now go vote for the party that stands for PRO-Death

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The PAC cited made him sign a pledge that would entitle "fetal personhood" support from day one, the moment of conception.

Correct, "fetal personhood" meaning conception has taken place and there is now a fetus. Pretty much all pro-life people share that same view. This is hardly earth shattering news.

Think of morning after pills, consistent birth control taken by women, that would all be labeled as "murder." Cruz labels birth control "abortificades" or some shit,

Correct, he's talking about stuff like Plan B, and while I don't agree with his view on that, he isn't talking about Loestrin, Nordette, and the countless other brands of birth control pills women take to prevent conception from even happening, so no, he isn't trying to ban birth control as you falsely claimed.

his record on birth control is delusional and it's idiocy to defend him

The only thing I am defending is reality. I don't give two shits about Cruz, personally.

Fetal personhood would call for investigations into every miscarriage, since the fetus is a person.

According to who? Making such an absurd claim is nothing more than irrational fear mongering. Typical politics.

It doesn't make the OP any less true, "fetal personhood" from what ted is going at is truly insane. It would make all miscarriages need to be investigated, unless it was just a symbolic piece of bullshit inserted by the evangelical right to pander to there base. He's only talking about plan b? Mind to back that up.

You show me an actual passage in the proposal that actually states that and I'll believe you. Good luck with that.

Ted Cruz will never be president, which, thank you higher powers if you exist,

[NYcarbineer]

Personhood based on life beginning at conception would make any birth control method that was designed to affect the fertilized egg in any way effectively murder.
